Some big tuna around this morning

 Couldnt help but see them behind FFB offshore of Garden Island.....not large schools but their backs were breaking the surface.  Also saw my first turtle of the season, a really big and slow moving s.o.b. .......brought back memories of a smashed outboard leg after hitting one in much the same area.

 i seen a big one just outside of passage rock a few years ago. they come down with leewuin current and year they get big. Not sure if the are green turtles or some other breed.

Mud crabbing at Balla Balla a really big one went under the tinnie, it was near 6 foot long and would have no problems breaking an outboard leg.

never seen one diving on the five ever nor any big sharks.

Seing a few schools out of Mindarie and landed a couple, not sure on type though, very aggressive and were on the hunt.

Also saw a big leatherback beyond Rotto a few years back, prehistoric looking bloody thing and huge.
